This is Clovis. He is a male, yellow and white, Labrador Retriever mix who is estimated to be 3 years old. He has been at the Orange County Animal Shelter since December 8, 2011, and he is available for adoption.

If you passed through the Lower Rotunda yesterday between 12-1, you may have met Clovis in-person.

To learn more about adopting or fostering him, contact the Orange County Animal Shelter.
